As healthcare innovation continues to accelerate, the role of impact investors and venture philanthropists has become increasingly vital. These funders are not only focused on financial returns but also on advancing health equity, improving patient outcomes, and addressing pressing unmet needs across the life science ecosystem.
At RESI Boston this September, the Impact Investors & Venture Philanthropy Panel will spotlight how this unique group of investors deploys capital to drive meaningful change in healthcare. Panelists will share their perspectives on how they define and measure impact, what differentiates their investment approach from traditional venture capital, and how they partner with founders to align their mission with milestone-driven growth. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how these organizations catalyze innovation in areas often overlooked by mainstream funding.
